Our Una and Sapcyaccordion doorsare not compatible with double door installations. However, our Axia model can be installed as a double door.

A smart solution for separating two rooms. A double door can be adjusted in height, and it is recommended to make the cut with a tool such as a hand saw.

Two doors can be assembled by attaching the receiving rail to one of the doors as well as to the bottom. To help you with the assembly, you will findassembly instructions on our website.

The steps for installing a sliding door

Sliding doors are a practical and attractive solution for separating spaces while optimizing the available area. They save space compared to traditional hinged doors and fit easily into many interior designs.

Before starting the installation, it is essential to:

• check that the opening is straight and level,
• Have a solid surface (wall or partition),
• Prepare the necessary tools (tape measure, level, saw, screwdriver).
  

Careful installation ensures smooth operation, greater durability, and optimal aesthetic appeal.

First of all, it is important to note that reducing the size of a folding door isONLYpossiblefortheUNAandSPACY versions. 

When installing your accordion door, you will only need to install 3 slats instead of 4 in order to reduce the width of your door from 0.84 to 0.69 m.

Axia and Spacy accordion doors are available in a standard height of 205 cm, which corresponds to the dimensions commonly used in homes.

This height allows installation on most interior openings without major work. However, the doors can be cut to size to fit your opening precisely, in accordance with the instructions in the installation manual.

Before installation, we recommend carefully measuring the opening (from the finished floor to the lintel) and ensuring that the support is perfectly straight and level.

To ensure optimal performance and maximum durability of your accordion door, it is important to follow the installation instructions provided with the Axia and Spacy models.

How wide is a folding door?

Grosfillex folding doors have a maximum standard width of 84 cm, corresponding to the total width of the frame structure, including the tracks.

Door component dimensions:

Una & Spacy door (main panel):

• Width 84 cm × Thickness 10 cm × Height 205 cm

If the width of your opening is less than 84 cm, the door will simply be folded more like an accordion and therefore slightly less taut, which compensates for the missing centimeters without affecting its operation.

For optimal installation, we recommend that you measure your opening accurately and refer to the installation instructions provided with the accordion door.

Axia door: (main panel)

• Width 84 cm × Thickness 10 cm × Height 205 cm

The basic package contains the components and accessories needed to assemble a single-leaf door with a standard opening width of 84 cm. The top rail supplied in the package measures 2 m and can be cut to the required length.
